I summarised what I think the paper will mean for Europeans in the next 18 months: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10158255787747387&set=a.1015127410365

  I think that you are not listening to the briefings or decisions from the UK gov but instead reading the press - they have never said that they would let it spread unhindered; but wanted to do (2) flattern the curve. Now they are moving to 3 but are trying to time the move in such a way that childcare can be managed for the emergency services. Apparently 1/3 of nurses have school aged kids, the concern is that if they are out of school then they will be with grandparents - thus precipitating the kind of disaster the model shows could come. I think that the hope that the government has is that they can build out a bigger surge capacity in a few weeks/months and then be able to mitigate the measures that they have in place. I think that this is wishful thinking at the moment - but I really hope I am wrong.
